Linde's Clean Hydrogen Investment in Dow's Net-Zero Project in Alberta's Industrial Heartland
Key Ideas
- Linde is investing over $2 billion in building a clean hydrogen and atmospheric gases plant on-site at Dow Canada's Fort Saskatchewan complex, aiming to supply clean hydrogen for decarbonization.
- Upon completion in 2028, Linde's project is expected to be Canada's largest clean hydrogen production plant, capturing over 2 million tonnes/year of CO2 emissions.
- Dow's $6.5 billion Path2Zero project, including Linde's investment, will increase polyethylene capacity, achieve net-zero emissions, and receive up to C$2.2 billion in governmental incentives and grants.
- ATCO's Yellowhead Mainline project, costing C$2.8 billion, will provide natural gas feed for Linde's plant and Dow's expansion, creating 2,000 jobs and supporting infrastructure investment in Alberta.
Dow Chemical Canada ULC’s (Dow Canada) Fort Saskatchewan Path2Zero expansion project in Alberta's Industrial Heartland is set to become the world's first net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions integrated ethylene cracker and derivatives complex. Linde, Dublin-based, is building a blue hydrogen plant on-site to aid decarbonization, with a signed agreement to supply clean hydrogen. The $2 billion investment by Linde will leverage autothermal reforming and carbon capture technology to produce clean hydrogen and sequester CO2 emissions. This partnership enables Dow to decarbonize its site, meeting customer demands for reduced carbon footprints. The project, expected to be operational in 2028, will be Canada's largest clean hydrogen production plant and one of the world's largest. Additionally, ATCO's Yellowhead Mainline project is underway to provide natural gas feed for Linde's plant and Dow's expansion, creating jobs and supporting infrastructure growth in Alberta. The overall investment in Dow's project, including Linde's contribution, aims for economic growth, decarbonization, and industry advancement in the region.
